Enjoyed seeing those ground-level close-ups. Always appreciate your showing us non-farmers this stuff and explaining it patiently. Terrific education for us.
Is anyone going to appreciate how smooth the footage is while mike's running along side the drill Try running over rough ground wile filming something not far off ground level
Mike is a piece of work, and he obviously loves what he is doing. Nobody, but nobody, gives us the level of detail he does when he explains a task being done on the farm. When he is done explaining something to us, we understand and learn something. No one can accuse him of glossing over something. Gotta love the way Ashton operates that equipment.
I thought you were going to say she was remarkable for: Making Mike a very happy man Making Mike a very well fed man Letting Mike still do his stunts without worrying too much ‘She knows who she married’ cracks me up every time 🤣
Hello Mike! I must say that the gps is truly an amazing invention, it has been a gamechanger for so many things, not only in agriculture. When I quit working with agriculture some 15 years ago you could choose gps as an extra luxury but now its standard. It makes farming so much easier in many ways, for example going at nighttime or just keeping track on how much ground is covered and where you have been. I think it is really interesting to listen to agphd from south dakota talk about striptilling rowcrops with variable seed and fertilizer rates. It is just mindblowing compared to oldschool flatrates that was the only alternative just a couple of decades ago. Have a good one and greetings from sweden.
Hi Mike Have a few questions for you. 1. What is in the small blue tubes that go down to the fertilizer? 2. Do you never plow your fields? Great to follow your work, good informative videos and always good mood. keep up the god work!
Really appriciate the effort you go to with these videos. Do not think there is anyone going above and beyond like you do buddy. Loving the massey vids aswell.
Even I feel nervous when you jump from one death scenario to another 😂 your videos are like sequels to final destination. but I have to admit, you get great footage from every angle. Kudos man.
As a baby, Mike would be rocked to sleep listening to a cassette playing the sound of the drills / banders cutting and clanging through the dirt. As an adult, he now has it on CD.
@@mikemitchell2554 Nicole is the wife of Chet Larson. A young couple in Minn. who started on here a few years ago and quickly became very popular in the farming community. She did the editing for Chet and his gang but was also on camera some. Larson farms is their name on here. Hug your wife a little extra today Mike, and everyone for that matter.
So as Mike was being Mike, ridding the air drill have you ever noticed something broken or not quite what is supposed to be? And had to have the equipment operator stop to fix the problem? Great footage by the way!
In the good ol days before seats, we used to ride the drawbar when going down the road, or the three point linkage if that was all there was. They'd go loopy nowadays HAhahaha
I used to put. An old potato bag on the spring behind the seat on the Fergi and ride all day until the new law came out and the governor of the farm stopped me, I know what you mean about standing on the three point link thou, 😂
Great awesome video mike, great view , your on my top three favourite you tubers I watch , always look forward to yours in the morning, I watch your videos in between chores on the farm
Amazing video Mike. The sheer scale of the machines is awesome! Is it dangerous? Probably no more than most city folks daily commute. Is it fun? Sure looks like it!!! 😊😊😊
Good morning grain farmers and wanna be ones. Here in Canada there was a report of the effects from BSE (mad cow disease) from 18 years ago and one of the findings was that over 8 000 square kilometres of farm properties were converted from pastures and hay land to 'other uses' of which the vast majority of the space has turned into grain land. Long term grain farming degrades the soil and the fibre content disappears. I call it combineitous it's an affliction of someone who wants to sit on a bright shiny combine all fall. And as the cows continue to disappear more dust bowls will be created. Happy grain farming😁
Some marginal soils are just not suitable for grain production and are probably best left in perennial forages, or at least rotated between forages and annual cropping.
So Mike i have a question(i kinda figured you would): Was that the "border field"? with Montana? I'm basing this on when she (your wife) did the last turn, we saw a fence, which is a no-no in your neck of the woods. I love to see that part of the country cause i don't live close to the border here.
I tend to forget he’s by the month behind on his blogs so keep it in perspective. End of May here. More moisture last night. Low mid 40s high low 60s today
Hey Mike greetings from Greece! I love your videos, we have a little farm of 700 acres. I wanted to ask you why the cart is behind the drill and in some other cases the opposite happens;
Hi Mike. I'm an italian tractor driver. I follow you and I like your videos. I would like to do an experience in Canada to understand how it feels to be in a vaste and desolate territory, very different from the Italian one. Bye, Fausto.
You are one crazy dude, but being a UA-cam farmer I've learned more with you than anywhere. May I be nosey, how many acres do you farm, it looks like it goes on forever.
Mike i do appreciate all your Videos as you provide amazing content but Please do not risk yourself by jumping on seeder section it’s way too dangerous and I really like to see more content from you on UA-cam in future. Stay safe and have a good day too.
Hey Mike when is the Zella 214 foot drill coming it has two air carts or get you air drill company to just put two 80 foots together the Zella pulls sideways had two tractors tied together now they have a Baldwin pulling it
Other UA-camrs: Strap camera mounts to the implement
Mike: I am the camera mount 🤣😂🤣
Awesome view Mike. Thanks.......and Mike, Ashton is a hellava Farmer!. Sorry Frankles.
That 1050,you gotta admit, is sick looking with triples, tractor is a beast, thanks for sharing mike. 💪
One of the things you have over other UA-camrs is that you actually ride the drill and show us them working on the very small scale.
Enjoyed seeing those ground-level close-ups. Always appreciate your showing us non-farmers this stuff and explaining it patiently. Terrific education for us.
Fun and games till someday Ashtyn sees Mike Mitchell Jr riding equipment just like daddy. 😁
This is why we love our brothers up north they are willing to risk there lives to bring us these great views. The 1050 looks great with the trips
Is anyone going to appreciate how smooth the footage is while mike's running along side the drill
Try running over rough ground wile filming something not far off ground level
Right?! 😅 Thankyou!
Mike is a piece of work, and he obviously loves what he is doing. Nobody, but nobody, gives us the level of detail he does when he explains a task being done on the farm.

what a ride Mike thanks to Ashtyn driving skills driving around that corners
Love how when he's running along side the drill I was thinking is that canola or wheat stuble and then he tells me, he just knows what ya thinking.
Love the videos mike! Very educational
Ashton you are remarkable. You handle that machinery with such precision. Not too many guys including myself could do such a great job.
I thought you were going to say she was remarkable for:
Making Mike a very happy man
Making Mike a very well fed man
Letting Mike still do his stunts without worrying too much
‘She knows who she married’ cracks me up every time 🤣
Can you imagine being someone just driving by and seeing Mike sitting on the drill like Rose from the Titanic 😂😂🤣
Haha I don't think it would surprise anyone around here tho 😂 but I know what you mean! 🤣
@@mikemitchell2554 oh they be like. There are mike at it again with his shenanigans
That would be pretty dang funny haha
@@provenxreaperx I´ll bet Astyn is on the phone with her Insurance Salesman, adding a zero to Mikes Life Insurance

I can always depend on you for a laugh, Mike! THANKS!! Living vicariously through your videos
Thanks for the action shots Mike, never a dull moment on the Mitchell farm.
Thanks for the unique view of a running air seeder. Very interesting
After a cold wet period, today summer starts with dry and sunny weather,here in the Netherlands. ☀️
Ik hoop het
@@nielsjansen5954 hoe gaat het?
comme en belgique ... encore quelques semaines et les moissons commencent ...
Eindelijk wat goed weer! Bijna het einde van mei en de mooie dagen zijn op 1 hand te tellen... Ik denk dat iedereen hier toe is aan wat vitamine D ; )
Eindelijk de 1e snede eraf
Hey Mike, I think a great 1st wedding Anniversary gift to your wonderful wife. A nice new red 620 quadtrack
If they didn't want you riding the drill, they wouldn't put the stairs behind the tires lol. Plenty safe.
Hi Mike
Have a few questions for you.
1. What is in the small blue tubes that go down to the fertilizer?
2. Do you never plow your fields?
Great to follow your work, good informative videos and always good mood.
keep up the god work!
He finally listened to someone, his wife. Thanks for staying on the corner Mike
And this was the Mike Mitchell Seeder-Stunt-Show 😂
Thanks for this nice video 👍🏼
Great video Mike. Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a great day and be careful.
Really appriciate the effort you go to with these videos. Do not think there is anyone going above and beyond like you do buddy. Loving the massey vids aswell.
Thats a nice view of that Fendt 1050👌🏼
Thanks for the videos Mike!! Always entertaining. Thanks again and be careful.
Them three tires just looks awesome
Thanks for the ride on the drill, That made for a cool video.
This is like asmr lol, love it!
Great video Mike awesome ride along on the drill
Even I feel nervous when you jump from one death scenario to another 😂 your videos are like sequels to final destination. but I have to admit, you get great footage from every angle. Kudos man.
Air Drill Surfing is now a spring sport for Mike.
😂🏄🏻♂️🤣
Ha! 😂 I love it
That‘s what i am thinking😆
Great footage Mike and Ashtyn! Fendty 1050 looks awesome with the triples.
Kind a dry / dusty, hope you got some rain later on. Keep it up you guys.
As a baby, Mike would be rocked to sleep listening to a cassette playing the sound of the drills / banders cutting and clanging through the dirt.
As an adult, he now has it on CD.
Na he upgraded to his MP3 player 😆😂
Rumour has it there is a sleeping bag on the drill, he sleeps there
Should be recorded and uploaded to spotify...
Awesome ride along, Thank you.
Mike, can you explain how you sow a paddock? How you plan your headlands, how you determine your speed, seeding rate, etc...
Mike Mitchell, The whole farming community is sad tonight, because Nichole Larson passed away from cancer. Godspeed Nichole!
This is very sad to hear! This was incredibly way too fast.
that's hard and sad to hear RIP Nicole
I am sorry.. But I don't know who that is 🤷🏻♂️

Great video! Mike, I think I am wasting my time telling you to be safe and take care, but I will anyway!
Have fun life is to short 🤪😁👍👍
Watching his video my me happy
Great video Mike, greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
Fun video thanks for sharing
Amazing video Mike. The sheer scale of the machines is awesome!
Is it dangerous? Probably no more than most city folks daily commute.
Is it fun? Sure looks like it!!! 😊😊😊
Hmm, business opportunity. “Mikes drilles rides”. One passenger per midrow banner?? 🤣🤣
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I SEE you got RAIN yesterday where getting it too well over do corn will be popping now🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

But we need grain to not just beef.
Some marginal soils are just not suitable for grain production and are probably best left in perennial forages, or at least rotated between forages and annual cropping.
@@kentmathieson1342 totally agree
If you really love Ashtyn you would buy her a new Case-IH 790 Quadtrac with a 100’ drill and 1790 Cart.
Soooooooo, interpreting the T Shirt, you're sowing seed all day,,,, annnnnd...LOL!!!!
So Mike i have a question(i kinda figured you would): Was that the "border field"? with Montana? I'm basing this on when she (your wife) did the last turn, we saw a fence, which is a no-no in your neck of the woods. I love to see that part of the country cause i don't live close to the border here.
Nothing like the sound of tillage or drilling in this case. Ps you make us all nervous Mike lol.
Mike really likes mid-row banders.
137k, sweet, I remember under 25k, ha, awesome, cheers!
great close ups of the seed action Mike !
Well it's a good thing you were a kid!
I rode on a harrow bar once. Fun times
Cool
Mike 4 president!
I'm late but I still made it!
Bet I know how your old phone got destroyed. Can't wait for the story.
Haha actually it was about month later 🤷🏻♂️😂
I tend to forget he’s by the month behind on his blogs so keep it in perspective. End of May here. More moisture last night. Low mid 40s high low 60s today
I doubt that's OSHA approved 😂 but hey it made a great video 👍🏼
No osha in Canada!
O.C.D. Mike when you get in the tractor and take off your shoes... can you not get dust on everything, after drill riding... Aye!
I love these kinda vids...
I finally have an internet connection that can deliver 4k video. Yay the close shots!
Yeah it's all about tradition have to do it one or two times a year to prove you still can thank mike
Hey Mike greetings from Greece! I love your videos, we have a little farm of 700 acres. I wanted to ask you why the cart is behind the drill and in some other cases the opposite happens;

Bye, Fausto.
A view not many get to see. Thanks
Get Ashtyn a Quadtrac or a Steiger and your Fendt issue will be solved immediately ;-)
I agree. Steiger with 900 duals
or just give her the deere that he already has.. the one with triples
Fendt is bad ass
After a drill ride like that Ashton would definitely Not let Mike into their nice clean bed without a shower.
Mike ~ Are we going to see a Fendt 1167 pulling an 84ft Bourgault before end of 2021seeding season?
I love how crazy you are
Nice hat Mike!
You are one crazy dude, but being a UA-cam farmer I've learned more with you than anywhere. May I be nosey, how many acres do you farm, it looks like it goes on forever.
40k
@@realredditstories420 more like 55k
What happens if Mike falls off and gets squished? Ashtyn becomes a rich widow
Awesome video
Would you ever consider a Fendt 1167 2 track tractor?
always wondered why the tyres on the drill face a different direction to the tractor?
This is often done on the not driven axles of equipment as it's reducing the rolling resistance.
think you should get her a case to drive. love Fendt's but she loves the red. so maybe get her something Red :P
Mike i do appreciate all your Videos as you provide amazing content but Please do not risk yourself by jumping on seeder section it’s way too dangerous and I really like to see more content from you on UA-cam in future. Stay safe and have a good day too.
Mike had hair
Comment faites-vous Mike pour vous repérer et savoir ou vous êtes déjà passé d'un jour sur l'autre avec des surfaces aussi grandes ?
Mike, how many days or weeks does it take to seed your farm?
Hey Mike when is the Zella 214 foot drill coming it has two air carts or get you air drill company to just put two 80 foots together the Zella pulls sideways had two tractors tied together now they have a Baldwin pulling it
What camera do you use Mike? The zoom on it and the clarity is incredible
Galaxy s21
So on a average day how much could a Ashtyn size drill plant, say 10 hours
Mike, in drill ride 3 you need open one door on cart.. that would be fun 😀
Yeah, then your cart would depressurizize and the drill wouldn’t plant the entire time you are riding.
Come back in the fall and wonder why there is a mile stretch that is unplanted
@@realredditstories420 but, we need to see what’s going on inside.. education 😉
@@hookyhoo1767
In the tractor cab is a monitor that has a split camera view inside for each tank ... 😉
